About My Clients
A traumatic childhood can shape the story you have about yourself and your ability to achieve healthy connections. Unhealthy/Unwanted romantic or sexual relationships can effect how you view love and what you deserve. I work primarily with clients suffering from family trauma (physical/emotional/sexual abuse, domestic violence, attachment, neglect, incest) to re-author their story.
My Background and Approach
Using a Narrative Therapy perspective I create space with you to move beyond the story of shame and hurt you experience and we will discover you in a new light as you move forward. I also have training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Brief Strategic Family Therapy. Let's work together to rediscover YOU, understanding your experience in a way that brings relief, moving beyond events that cause pain.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Clients have expressed that by being curious and patient our sessions allow them to go at their own pace while still addressing and containing difficult emotions/reactions that come up while we talk. Clients have also expressed excitement that I don't only get to know about their trauma or define them based on their worst moments. They have stated this makes them feel like their trauma, while affecting them, isn't who they are. Clients who have felt alone, misunderstood and isolated often begin to reconnect with themselves and their loved ones. In our sessions together, client's better understand how their trauma is still along for the ride and we explore how to renegotiate that relationship. Together we explore their identity outside their trauma story and we invite other parts of themselves into the room and usually discover that these parts have been blocked or marginalized but still exist.
